SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL DYNAMICS OF THE CHESAPEAKE BAY SEA NETTLE
… was used to collect high-resolution data on medusae in 2016 and 2017, within a Patuxent River waterscape. Polyp settlement plates were deployed at eight sites to understand the distributional range of the sessile benthic stage in Chesapeake Bay, but polyps successfully overwintered at only …

Life cycle evolution and systematics of Campanulariid hydrozoans
… Additionally, the unique campanulariid Obelia medusae may have been "re-invented" from ancestors without medusae. Chapter 1 reviews campanulariid life cycles and taxonomy. Chapter 2 presents a phylogeny based on 18S rDNA, calmodulin, L6S rDNA and cytochrome c oxidase I (COI). Ancestral life …

THE BEHAVIOR OF THE SCYPHOMEDUSAE CHRYSAORA QUINQUECIRRHA AND AURELIA AURITA AND ITS ECOLOGICAL IMPORTANCE
Scyphomedusae are important components in trophic and community structures of marine and estuarine systems worldwide. Behavior likely has a significant influence on medusa population dynamics and growing evidence points to the disproportionate effect individual behavior has on population responses, …

Seasonal and lunar patterns of peach blossom jellyfish (Craspedacusta sowerbii) in Michigan
… and to create a regional ecological niche model. Medusae were observed in one lake during the field season, where abundance followed a significant quadratic seasonal curve peaking in mid-September, a thermal optimum near 25 ℃, and marginally nonsignificant increases during moderately bright lunar …

Integrating genomic, transcriptomic and developmental approaches to investigate coloniality and life cycle evolution in the Hydractiniidae (Hydrozoa: Cnidaria)
… of coloniality known as polyp polymorphism, and medusae (jellyfish) evolution and loss. While these characters have been repeatedly explored phylogenetically, recognizing interesting and complex evolutionary patterns of character transitions, understanding of these complex patterns of character …

La variabilité inter et intra-annuelle des méduses en Baie de Calvi
… The temporal and horizontal distributions of Medusae in the Bay of Calvi were investigated by an analysis of weekly planktonic time series (2003-2008) collected at STARESO, University of Liege’s Oceanographic field station located in Corsica (FRANCE). Firstly, our study showed similar seasonal …

Invertebrate plankton assemblages in the surf zones of St. Lucia and Mhlathuze Estuaries, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
… siphonophores, chaetognaths, dadocerans and medusae. The meroplankton composed of polychaetes and decapod larvae which dominated this group. Decapod larvae included pagurid, brachyuran and shrimp-like forms. Benthoplanktonic crustaceans sampled from these surf zones included surf zone/beach …

Bloom or Bust: Retrospective Analysis of the Giant Jellyfish, <i>Nemopilema nomurai</i> (Scyphozoa: Rhizostomeae), Ecology in the East Asian Marginal Seas
<p>The Giant Jellyfish, <em>Nemopilema nomurai</em>, is a large-bodied bloom-forming jellyfish that occurs in the semi-enclosed basins of the East Asian Marginal Seas. <em>N. nomurai</em> has bloomed more frequently in the past 20 years than in any period previously recorded. In Japan, recent …
